The Network Startup Resource Center (NSRC), a non-profit organization, has been involved for the past decade with the
deployment and integration of appropriate networking technology in
Ghana. Note that some of the posted information is old, perhaps even historic by now. But it has been archived here to help document
the evolution of the global infrastructure - when the first points of connectivity were established, and subsequent developments
leading up to the current state of the network within a particular country or region. |

Although the legal system recognizes and enforces secured
interest in property, both chattel and real, the issue of clear title over land
has been a thorny one. A thorough search at the Lands Commission to ascertain
the identity of the true owner of any land being offered for sale is extremely
important. Investors should be aware that, in some cases, land records are
incomplete or non-existent and therefore clear title may be impossible to
establish.
The concept of mortgages exists in Ghana, and they are
regulated by the Mortgages Decree. Mortgages are enforced by judicial sale upon
application to the court. A mortgage must be registered under the Land Title
Registration Law, a requirement that is mandatory for it to take effect.
Registration with the Land Title Registry is a reliable system of recording the
transaction.
The protection of intellectual property is an evolving area of
law. Progress has been made in recent years to afford protection under both
local and international law. Ghana is a member of the World Intellectual
Property Organization (WIPO) and the English-speaking African Regional
Industrial Property Organization (ESARIPO). The courts have been pro-active in
the protection of intellectual property rights. Steps are being taken to
implement the WTO TRIPS (Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights)
Agreement. TRIPS-compliant legislation is expected to be introduced in
parliament in late 2002.
